Twin Bed RV

I am pretty happy with my Toyota, but the bed size of this RV - for, I would say two couples - not bad! Just wait with the action until it's dark on your campground.

Beetle Mania

Mexico is full of really cool and fun Volkswagen bugs, check out the newly up-dated 300 pictures heavy photo gallery here.

If you'd like to see pictures of all kind of interesting and fun things that drive around in the Americas, visit my Gallery Road Warriors.

Die Hard Toyotas can be found here.

And pictures of the blue truck on the road here.

Enjoy!

Finca Ixobel - A perfect Stop in Guatemala

No matter whether you camp, backpack, wish to rent a bungalow or just want to hang a hammock for the night, Finca Ixobel, South of Poptun on your way from or to Tikal in Peten will be a worth while stop.

First of all, it is peaceful.

Relaxed.

It has a large natural swimming pool with fish instead of chemicals in it.

Prices are more than fair and the food that is offered and comes from the home grown organic farm is awasome. Definitely worth a stop.

Bonaire

I have not been driving to Bonaire in the Toyota but flying. It is already a couple of months back on my trip since I parked the blue truck in Houston and boarded a plane to fly to Bonaire to visit my friends Roland & Irene who run a fantastic place on the Island in the Dutch Antilles.

The first pictures of Bonaire are on-line, more to come.

Should you want to fly to a beautiful caribean island with fantastic beaches, amazing spots to snorkel or if you are even a scuba diver, Bonaire is almost a must.

I would recommend to stay at Bonaire Fun at The Dive Hut or at Tropicana Appartments. The Dutch-Swiss couple Irene & Roland will make your stay a pleasant one, for sure.

Enjoy Bonaire!
